The ONLY Home Remedy That Can help Cure Tinnitus

Like it or not, the truth is that
there is no specific cure for tinnitus – the treatment
being mostly symptomatic and that too varying from one
person to another. Those who are suffering from tinnitus
caused due to poor blood circulation in the head or neck
region often take the help of herbal remedies like
Ginkgo Biloba or black Cohosh for transitory relief
(because they have found through experience that
conventional remedies hardly provide the relief that
they need). Others resort to homeopathic cures that are
said to be more enduring in nature – however they too
eventually prove to be no better than others. As a last
resort, people look for home remedies in the hope that
these age-old formulations would at least give them the
much needed freedom from the agonizing ear noises that
have driven them crazy, day after day, month after month
and year after year.

Drugs
that Cure Tinnitus: Pros and Cons

Even though tinnitus symptoms often
go away temporarily by adopting several methods that
include over-the-counter medications, masking devices,
relaxation modes, etc., the biggest problem with the OTC
medications lie in their harmful side effects. These can
range from sudden onset of acute constipation, head
reeling, nausea, loss of self-control to inexplicable
physical uneasiness, lethargy as well as the dreadful
effects of irritable bowel syndrome. In some cases,
acupuncture, magnet therapy, hypnosis and hyperbaric
oxygen therapy are also practiced by tinnitus patients
to gain relief.

Tinnitus Causes and
Triggers

However,
it might be pertinent to see what precisely causes
tinnitus, so that the appropriate home remedy may be
applied against them. Tinnitus may be triggered due to
any of these factors acting individually or working
jointly.

Poor
blood circulation in the head or neck region due to
narrowing of blood vessels that have chocked with high
layers of cholesterol. This factor is best illustrated
in Pulsatile Tinnitus where a person can hear his/her
own heartbeat.

Damage
to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerves
within the inner ear.

Extended
exposure to loud noises that are created in iron
foundries, rifle ranges, missile test firing grounds,
etc. It may also involve music played in highest
decibel.

Use of ototoxic drugs that
include certain types of antibiotics, NSAIDs
, Loop diuretics and chemotherapy
agents.

Hearing
loss that is often associated with
tinnitus.

Hardening
of the tiny middle ear
bones.

Temporomandibular
jaw
joint problem that gives rise to grating sound in
the ear every time the jaw moves.

Specific
types of food and drink like cheeses, chocolates, red
wine, grain-based spirits can also trigger tinnitus in
several cases.

Infection
as well as high build up wax in the ear sometime
causes tinnitus.

Allergies,
tumors or growths adjacent to the ear or in blood
vessels supplying blood to the head and neck
region.

Among the tinnitus home
remedies advocated to effect permanent relief,
most alas are simple voodoos. Here are some of
them:

Spraying
into the nose and throat with a mixture having one
teaspoon of salt + one teaspoon of glycerin three
times a day will ease sinus problems, thereby helping
tinnitus ringing in the
ears.

Tinnitus home
remedies
can only work when they are a part of
holistic remedies

The
reality is, no home remedies, herbal supplements and
even the conventional therapies will be able to get you
out of your tinnitus problems. That is because most of
these remedies just treat the symptoms, without really
trying to find out what the root causes of the illness
are. And so, though the symptoms might look like going
away with treatment, they soon make a comeback as soon
as the suppressing agent in the therapy of the medicines
wanes. What on the other hand really works in tinnitus
are holistic remedies because they treat the body as a
whole and does not just suggest any medication (that
will never work anyway by itself). Holistic remedies
reach within the body and first identifies the root
causes (which can be many) and then once done, the
correct remedy is suggested that can range of
medications to diet and lifestyle changes to acupuncture
and exercise. At best, home remedies can be a part of
holistic remedies for effective results – but they will
never work alone.
